Part I
The Registrant, Moog Inc., a New York corporation formed in
1951, is referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as
"Moog," "the Company" or in the nominative "we" or the possessive
"our."
ITEM 1. Business.
Certain information required herein is contained in part in
the 1996 Annual Report, specific pages of which are referred to
in parentheses.
Description of the Company's Business. (See pages 2 through
16.)
Distribution. Moog's sales and marketing organization is
comprised of individuals possessing highly specialized technical
expertise. Such expertise is required in order to effectively
evaluate the customer's precision control requirements and in
facilitating communication between the customer's engineering
staff and the Moog engineering staff. Manufacturers'
representatives are used to cover certain aerospace and selected
industrial markets.
Industry and Competitive Conditions. The Company
experiences considerable competition in each of its five major
product lines. However, the Company is the only precision motion
control specialist which competes globally in all markets and all
drive technologies.
Many of its competitors have greater financial and other
resources than the Company. In Aircraft Controls, the Company's
principal competitors include Parker Hannifin Corporation,
Curtiss-Wright Corp., HR Textron, a subsidiary of Textron, Inc.
("HR Textron"), Teijin Seiki Limited and E-Systems Inc., a
Raytheon company, ("E-Systems"). In Space and Missiles, the
Company's principal competitors are AlliedSignal Inc. and HR
Textron. For the Industrial Hydraulics product line, competitors
are Robert Bosch AG, Mannesmann Rexroth AG and E-Systems.
Competitors in the Industrial Electrics product line include
Barber-Coleman Company, Siemens AG, Indramat GmbH, Pacific
Scientific Company and Yaskawa Electric Corp.
Competition in each of the product lines is based upon
design capability, product performance and life, service, price
and delivery time. In certain product lines technological
considerations predominate over price considerations, while in
others price considerations are paramount. The Company believes
it competes effectively on all of these bases.
Backlog. Substantially all backlog will be realized as
sales in the next twelve months. The information required herein
is incorporated by reference to Item 6, Selected Financial Data,
on page 20.
Raw Materials. Materials, supplies and components are
purchased from numerous suppliers. The loss of any one supplier
would not materially affect the Company's operations.
Working Capital. The information required herein is
incorporated by reference to Note 1 of Item 8 on page 28.
Seasonality. Moog's business is generally not seasonal.
Patents. Moog has numerous patents and has filed
applications for others. While the aggregate protection afforded
by these is of value, the Company does not consider the
successful conduct of any material part of its business dependent
upon such protection. The Company's patents and patent
applications, including U.S., Canadian, European and Japanese
patents, relate to electrohydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical
actuation mechanisms and control valves, electronic control
component systems and interface devices.
Research Activities. Research and product development
activity has been and continues to be significant to the Company.
The information required herein is incorporated by reference to
Item 6, Selected Financial Data, on page 20.
Employees. The information required herein is incorporated
by reference to Item 6, Selected Financial Data, on page 20.
Segment Financial Information. The information required
herein is incorporated by reference to Notes 10 and 11 of Item 8
on page 34.
Customers. The information required herein is incorporated
by reference to pages 2 through 16 and 34. In aggregate, the
Company markets its products to a wide variety of customers. The
Boeing Commercial Airplane Co. represents 7.5% of fiscal 1996
sales, with prime U.S. government contractors, including
McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed Martin, Bell-Boeing, and the U.S.
government, representing 37.8% of sales. The concentration of
customers varies within product lines. In the Commercial and
Military Aircraft product lines as well as Space and Missiles, a
few customers provide the majority of revenues, while in the
Industrial Hydraulics and Industrial Electrics product lines
revenues are spread over a wide customer base.
International Operations. Moog's International Controls
segment is an aggregate of operations located predominantly in
Europe and the Asian-Pacific region. (See pages 2 through 16, 34
and 39.) The Company's international operations are subject to
the usual risks inherent in international trade, including
currency fluctuations, local governmental foreign investment
restrictions, exchange controls, regulation of the import and
distribution of foreign goods, as well as changing economic and
social conditions in countries in which such operations are
conducted.
Environmental Matters. See pages 23 and 35.
ITEM 2. Properties.
Corporate headquarters are located in East Aurora, New York.
Principal manufacturing facilities for the Domestic Controls
segment are located in East Aurora, New York and Torrance,
California. These facilities consist of 756,000 square feet
which are owned, and 54,000 square feet which are under capital
lease and financed primarily by industrial revenue bonds which
allow the Company to purchase the facilities at nominal prices
upon expiration. The Domestic Controls segment leases 140,000
square feet in East Aurora and 7,200 square feet in Torrance
under operating leases. With respect to the Company's
facilities, third parties have subleased 67,000 square feet of
leased space through August 1997. Outside of the U.S., the
Domestic Controls segment owns manufacturing centers in the
Philippines and India. The Philippines facility consists of
64,000 square feet and the India facility consists of 23,000
square feet.
The International Controls segment maintains major
manufacturing facilities in Germany, England and Japan. Of the
major European facilities, 4,000 square feet are owned and
200,000 square feet are leased under operating lease agreements.
The Japanese facility, consisting of 68,000 square feet, is
owned. A specialty manufacturing operation with 26,000 square
feet which is owned is located in Ireland. In various other
major markets, including Italy, France, Spain, Sweden, Finland,
Denmark, Brazil, Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore,
the Company has sales and applications engineering offices. Of
these facilities, 30,000 square feet are owned and 48,000 square
feet are leased under operating leases. Operating leases of the
International facilities expire at varying times from December
1996 through June 2013.
The capacity of Moog's manufacturing facilities is
considered adequate based on current production requirements.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.
Legal proceedings presently pending by or against Moog or
its subsidiaries are not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
Moog and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
In connection with the Company's October 1996 acquisition of
assets and assumption of certain liabilities related to the
industrial hydraulic servocontrols business (the U.S. Industrial
Hydraulics Business) of International Motion Control Inc.,
certain lawsuits and motions initiated by the U.S. Industrial
Hydraulics Business and by the Company relating to trade names
and rental agreements have been discontinued.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The Company is a leading global designer and manufacturer of
a broad range of high performance precision motion and fluid
control products and systems for aerospace and industrial
applications. Moog's servoactuation systems are critical in
controlling the flight of commercial and military aircraft,
controlling the thrust of space launch vehicles, steering
tactical and strategic missiles, satellite positioning and are
used in a wide variety of electric and hydraulic industrial
applications that require the precise control of position,
velocity and force.
The Company has two industry segments, Domestic Controls and
International Controls. These industry segments consist of five
principal product lines: Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft,
Space and Missiles (collectively referred to as aerospace),
Industrial Hydraulics and Industrial Electrics (collectively
referred to as industrial controls). Domestic Controls designs
and manufactures products primarily for North American markets,
while International Controls designs and manufactures products
for markets in Europe and the Far East. The majority of Domestic
Controls segment sales relate to aerospace, with a smaller
portion of sales related to industrial controls. International
Controls segment sales relate principally to industrial controls,
with a relatively small portion related to aerospace.
The Company considers select acquisitions to broaden its
product lines, enhance market share and improve manufacturing and
engineering capabilities and utilization. In 1994, Moog acquired
certain hydraulic and mechanical actuation product lines of
AlliedSignal Inc. located in Torrance, California (the Aircraft
Controls Acquisition). The adjusted purchase price, excluding
$5.0 million for specified transition services, was $63.8
million. On December 15, 1995, the Company purchased for $5.0
million, the industrial servovalve product line of Ultra
Hydraulics Limited ("Ultra"). On October 26, 1996, the Company
acquired the assets of and assumed certain liabilities related to
the industrial hydraulic servocontrols business (the U.S.
Industrial Hydraulics Business) of International Motion Control
Inc., (IMC), an unrelated third party. The U.S. Industrial
Hydraulics Business, which operated under the name Moog Controls
Inc., was spun off by the Company in February 1988. The purchase
price for the U.S. Industrial Hydraulics Business was $48.6
million.
Sales. Commercial aerospace and industrial controls
accounted for 55% of fiscal 1996 sales, with the balance to U.S.
and foreign governments for military and space hardware. Over the
past five years, the percentage of government sales to total
sales has declined as the Company has increased its focus on the
development and acquisition of commercial aerospace and
industrial controls product lines. In fiscal 1992, government
sales were 60% and commercial sales were 40%. Moog expects the
percentage of commercial sales to continue to increase based upon
expected growth in commercial aerospace and industrial controls.
In Commercial Aircraft, the Company's sales are dependent on
the aircraft production cycle of the major OEMs. In industrial
controls, the Company is subject to the normal fluctuations in
capital goods spending in regional markets. Sales related to the
Military Aircraft and Space and Missiles product lines are
subject to changes in procurement and spending levels on programs
in which the Company participates. While each of its product
lines is subject to cyclicality, the Company believes the impact
is mitigated by their diversity and broad geographic
distribution.
Cost of Sales. The Company's business requires substantial
investments in capital equipment, buildings and related support
costs. Cost of sales can be affected by changes in both volume
and product mix. The Company has a highly skilled workforce, and
an infrastructure of engineering and related support costs.
Accordingly, short-term changes in volume can have a significant
effect on gross margins. These short-term changes can be tempered
by the long-term nature of the aerospace business and the
production cycle of major industrial capital goods manufacturers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The Company's
selling, general and administrative expenses are typically higher
in industrial controls than in aerospace. The industrial products
generally have higher gross margins, but also require higher
sales and support effort. Accordingly, shifts in the sales mix to
or from industrial controls will affect selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales. These expenses
are also affected by the amount of bid and proposal work on
government contracts and commission sales.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses
vary depending on whether the engineering staff is engaged in
customer-funded design and development, sales support, production
support or Company-funded research and development activities.
The Company's annual research and development expenses have
averaged $17.2 million over the past five fiscal years. Revenue
from design and development activities averaged $26.3 million or
7.8% of average sales.
Results of Operations - Fiscal 1996 Compared with Fiscal 1995
Net sales for fiscal 1996 were $407.2 million, an increase
of 8.8% over the same period a year ago. Net sales for the
Domestic Controls segment were $276.5 million, 8.9% above net
sales of $253.9 million a year ago. The Domestic Controls net
sales increase is attributable to increased volumes in both the
Commercial and Military Aircraft product lines, along with higher
volumes in satellite and space propulsion controls. For the
International Controls segment, net sales increased 8.6% to
$130.7 million in fiscal 1996 compared with $120.4 million a year
ago. The International Controls net sales growth relates
principally to increased volumes due to stronger demand for
Industrial Hydraulics throughout Europe and, to a lesser degree,
the December 1995 acquisition of the industrial servovalve
product line of Ultra. The movement in the value of certain
foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in fiscal 1996 did
not have a significant impact on sales.
Cost of sales for fiscal 1996 was $281.7 million, or 69.2%
of net sales, compared to $265.0 million, or 70.8% of net sales
in the prior fiscal year. The decrease as a percentage of sales
is primarily due to the absence of transition costs in 1996
related to the Aircraft Controls Acquisition and to increased
sales in the higher margin Industrial Hydraulics and Space and
Missiles product lines.
Research and development expense was $17.3 million or 4.2%
of net sales for fiscal 1996, compared with $15.8 million or 4.2%
of net sales in the same period of fiscal 1995. The increase
principally relates to the development of advanced actuation
technology and related electronics and active vibration
development efforts in the U.S. related to the Commercial and
Military Aircraft product lines. Revenue from design and
development activities was $24.4 million in fiscal 1996, compared
to $21.6 million in fiscal 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $75.7
million or 18.6% of net sales in fiscal 1996, compared to $68.5
million or 18.3% of sales in the same period a year ago. The
increase as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to
legal costs, stock appreciation rights, amortization of debt
issuance costs and certain duplicate international management
costs.
Operating profit for the Domestic Controls segment was $32.7
million for fiscal 1996, or 11.4% of segment sales. This compares
with $25.2 million, or 9.6% of segment sales a year ago. The
increase is attributable to a 9.1% increase in segment sales, and
the absence in fiscal 1996 of transition costs associated with
the Aircraft Controls Acquisition. For the International Controls
segment, operating profit for fiscal 1996 was $11.8 million, or
8.1% of segment sales, compared to $8.5 million, or 6.8% of
segment sales a year ago. The increase is a result of higher
segment sales due to improved European capital goods market
conditions.
Interest expense was $18.1 million for fiscal 1996, compared
with $17.5 million for fiscal 1995. While the Recapitalization,
as defined under Financial Condition and Liquidity, resulted in
higher interest expense for the third and fourth quarters of
fiscal 1996, interest expense declined to 4.5% of sales in the
current year from 4.7% a year ago.
The effective tax rate for fiscal 1996 was 30.1%, compared
to 11.7% for fiscal 1995. The effective tax rates are
significantly affected by the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards at the German subsidiary. In fiscal 1996, the
Company continued to reduce its valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets principally related to the improving financial
position of its German subsidiary. The lower tax rate in fiscal
1995 reflected the fact that a larger proportion of fiscal 1995
earnings before taxes were generated by the German subsidiary
relative to fiscal 1996.
The extraordinary item of $.5 million represents prepayment
and amendment fees and the write-off of deferred debt issuance
costs associated with the Recapitalization, as defined under
Financial Condition and Liquidity.
As a result of the factors discussed above, net earnings for
fiscal 1996 increased to $10.7 million, or $1.40 per share
compared with $7.8 million, or $1.00 per share, a year ago.
Results of Operations - Fiscal 1995 Compared with Fiscal 1994
Net sales in fiscal 1995 of $374.3 million were 21.8% higher
than fiscal 1994 net sales of $307.4 million. For the Domestic
Controls segment, net sales increased 19.1% in fiscal 1995 to
$253.9 million compared to $213.3 million in fiscal 1994. The
increase was attributable primarily to the Aircraft Controls
Acquisition and unit volume increases, in part offset by lower
revenue on the B-2 program and certain missile programs.
International Controls segment net sales increased 27.9% in
fiscal 1995 to $120.4 million from $94.1 million in the prior
fiscal year. The increase reflected the improvement in European
capital goods markets, and to a much lesser extent, the increase
in value of certain foreign currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar. Excluding the effect of changing currency values,
International Controls segment net sales increased 18.0%. In
total, there were minimal pricing changes in most European
markets, while in Japan, the Company experienced overall declines
in pricing due to worldwide competitive pressures.
Cost of sales increased to $265.0 million, or 70.8% of net
sales, in fiscal 1995 compared with $213.5 million, or 69.5% of
net sales in fiscal 1994. The increase as a percentage of sales
was principally due to transition costs associated with the
Aircraft Controls Acquisition and a change in product mix.
Research and development expenses were $15.8 million, or
4.2% of net sales, in fiscal 1995 compared to $18.7 million, or
6.1% of net sales, in fiscal 1994. The decline was attributable
to significant expenditures in fiscal 1994 on brushless motor
development for entertainment motion platforms, radio controls,
engine thrust vectoring controls, and helicopter vibration
controls. Further, more engineering resources were utilized on
production related activity in fiscal 1995. Revenue from design
and development activities was $21.6 million in fiscal 1995
compared with $25.3 million in fiscal 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995
were $68.5 million, or 18.3% of net sales compared to $58.3
million, or 19.0% of net sales, in fiscal 1994. In absolute
terms, the increase was primarily due to a full year of costs in
fiscal 1995 related to the Aircraft Controls Acquisition.
Further, $2.6 million of the increase reflected the higher
average value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
The decline, as a percentage of net sales, reflected the
additional sales from the Aircraft Controls Acquisition and
increased sales in the International Controls segment.
Operating profit for the Domestic Controls segment was $25.2
million in fiscal 1995, representing 9.6% of segment sales,
compared with $20.4 million, or 9.2% of segment sales, in fiscal
1994. The increase in operating profit was due to the Aircraft
Controls Acquisition, in part offset by declining revenue on the
B-2 program and certain missile programs, as well as one-time
transition services costs resulting from the Aircraft Controls
Acquisition. Fiscal 1994 also included $3.4 million of inventory
obsolescence and restructuring charges. Operating profit for the
International Controls segment in fiscal 1995 was $8.5 million,
or 6.8% of segment sales compared with $1.1 million, or 1.1% of
segment sales, in fiscal 1994, which included $1.3 million of
restructuring and inventory obsolescence charges. Excluding these
charges, operating profit would have been $2.4 million, or 2.4%
of segment sales. The improvement in capital goods markets in
Europe, along with cost reduction measures, led to a significant
improvement in European operating profit. Within the Pacific
region, operating profit was down from fiscal 1994, primarily due
to costs of penetrating new Asian markets.
Interest expense increased in fiscal 1995 to $17.5 million,
or 4.7% of net sales, compared to $11.4 million, or 3.7% of net
sales, in fiscal 1994. The increase in interest expense was due
to the additional debt associated with the Aircraft Controls
Acquisition.
Foreign currency exchange losses of $.1 million in fiscal
1995 compared with a gain of $.5 million in fiscal 1994. The
fiscal 1994 gain primarily related to a short-term Deutsche Mark
loan between Moog and its German subsidiary.
The effective income tax rate was 11.7% for 1995 compared
with the fiscal 1994 effective rate of 46.8%. The effective tax
rate for fiscal 1995 reflected the relatively strong earnings at
the Company's German operation, which benefitted from its net
operating loss carryforward position. Conversely, the higher
effective tax rate for fiscal 1994 resulted from losses at the
German subsidiary which provided limited tax benefits. In the
fourth quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994, the Company reduced its
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets to reflect the
improved German operating results.
As a result of the factors discussed above, net earnings in
fiscal 1995 were $7.8 million, or $1.00 per share, compared with
net earnings in fiscal 1994 of $2.1 million, or $.27 per share.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Company completed a Recapitalization (the
Recapitalization) in May 1996. The Recapitalization enhanced the
Company's long-term capital base while providing additional
senior capacity to fund growth. It further allowed the Company to
retire subordinated debentures convertible to common stock at
favorable prices, and repurchase 9.3% of its Common Stock.
The principal elements of the Recapitalization were the
issuance of $120 million Senior Subordinated Notes, amending the
U.S. Bank Credit facility and reducing outstanding borrowings
under this facility by approximately $69.1 million, redeeming
$18.0 million of Convertible Subordinated Debentures, prepaying a
10 1/4% Note for $16.4 million, and repurchasing 714,600 Class A
shares for $12.9 million.
As of September 30, 1996, the Company had worldwide unused
lines of credit of $112.7 million, plus cash and cash equivalents
of $9.6 million. In connection with the acquisition of the U.S.
Industrial Hydraulics Business on October 26, 1996, the Company
utilized approximately $49 million that was available under the
U.S. Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility.
The percentage of long-term debt to capitalization as of
September 30, 1996 was 65.3% compared to 61.8% as of
September 30, 1995. The increase is a result of the
Recapitalization.
Cash provided by operating activities was $15.2 million in
fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995 and $11.1 million in 1994. Higher
working capital at September 30, 1996 (see below) was offset by
increased earnings. The increase in fiscal 1995 was principally
due to increased earnings.
Working capital at September 30, 1996 was $188.0 million
compared with $167.0 million at September 30, 1995. The current
ratio was 2.89 at September 30, 1996, compared to 2.76 at
September 30, 1995. The increase in working capital and the
current ratio principally related to increased receivables and
inventory levels due to the acquisition of Ultra and an effort to
reduce lead times.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 1996 were $10.9 million
compared with depreciation and amortization of $19.6 million.
Capital expenditures in fiscal 1995 were $10.2 million compared
with $8.9 million in fiscal 1994. Capital expenditures were well
below depreciation and amortization levels of $19.7 million in
fiscal 1995 and $15.7 million in fiscal 1994. Capital
expenditures for fiscal 1997 are expected to be approximately $15
million.
Foreign exchange instruments are used to hedge the Company's
equity in, and long-term advances to, various International
subsidiaries. In addition, the Company periodically utilizes
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge known foreign
currency cash flows. The Company has also entered into interest
rate swaps to manage its exposure to increases in interest rates
on a floating-rate credit facility. The Company does not hold or
issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed of," and SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," in fiscal 1997. The Company does not believe that
the adoption of either standard will have a material effect on
its fiscal 1997 consolidated financial statements.
Backlog
Backlog consists of that portion of open orders for which
sales are expected to be recognized over the next twelve months.
Backlog was $243.3 million at September 30, 1996 compared with
$237.9 million at September 30, 1995. Backlog for the Domestic
Controls segment was $205.5 million at September 30, 1996
compared with $195.9 million at September 30, 1995. The increase
in the Domestic backlog from a year ago relates to strong growth
in the Space and Missiles product line. International Controls
segment backlog was $37.8 million at September 30, 1996 compared
with $42.0 million at September 30, 1995. The decline for
International Controls relates to lower relative currency values
and improved delivery performance.
General
Environmental Matters - At September 30, 1996, the Company
believes that adequate reserves have been established for
environmental issues, and does not expect environmental matters
will have a material effect on the financial position of the
Company.
Foreign Exchange - The Company's International activities
are conducted in more than ten countries. This generally helps to
reduce the level of exposure of foreign currency movements on
operating results.
Government Contracting
The Company shares risks of cancellation as a participant in
government sponsored programs similar to the risks assumed by all
government contractors. Government emphasis on audit and
investigative activity in the U.S. defense industry presents
risks of unanticipated financial exposure for companies with
substantial activity in government contract work. The audit
process is an on-going one which includes post-award reviews and
audits of compliance with the various procurement requirements.
The Company believes that adequate reserves have been established
for any issues on which financial exposure is known and
quantifiable.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands except per share data)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Moog Inc. and all of its U.S. and International
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: All highly liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less are considered
cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at
amounts which approximate fair value.
Revenue Recognition: The percentage of completion
(cost-to-cost) method of accounting is followed for long-term
contracts. Under this method, revenues are recognized as the work
progresses toward completion. Contract incentive awards affect
earnings when the amounts can be determined. For contracts with
anticipated losses at completion, the projected loss is accrued.
Revenues other than on long-term contracts are recognized as
units are delivered.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of valuation.
Consistent with industry practice, aerospace related inventories
include amounts relating to contracts having long production and
procurement cycles, portions of which are not expected to be
realized within one year.
Foreign Currency: Foreign subsidiaries' assets and
liabilities are translated using rates of exchange as of the
balance sheet date and the statements of income are translated at
the average rates of exchange for the year. Transaction gains and
losses from certain long-term advances to foreign subsidiaries
and hedges of these advances to, and net investments in these
subsidiaries are accumulated in the equity section as "Equity
Adjustments." Gains and losses resulting from all other foreign
currency transactions are included in income.
Depreciation and Amortization: Plant and equipment are
depreciated principally using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements and
assets considered capital leases are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of
the asset, whichever is shorter.
Intangibles associated with acquisitions are amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods not to exceed 30 years. The
Company monitors its intangibles for evidence of impairment. In
the event that such evidence exists, the Company uses forecasted
undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine the amount of
impairment, if any.
Financial Instruments and Credit Concentration: Instruments
which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade
receivables. The Company places its temporary investments in
highly rated financial institutions and for maturities of
generally three months or less. Concentrations of credit risk
with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the
significant amount of business with large commercial aerospace
companies or prime U.S. Government contractors and to the number
of customers and their dispersion over a large geographic area.
Use of Estimates: Management has made a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities to
prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Note 2 - Acquisitions
In June of 1994 the Company acquired the hydraulic and
mechanical actuation product lines (the Product Lines) of
AlliedSignal Inc., located in Torrance, California. The Product
Lines include mechanical drive systems for leading edge flaps and
hydraulic servoactuators for primary and secondary flight
controls used on a wide variety of commercial and military
aircraft. The adjusted purchase price, excluding $5,000 for
specified transition services, was $63,800. The acquisition
resulted in Product Line intangible assets of $14,565, which are
being amortized over a 12 year period.
On December 15, 1995, the Company purchased, for $5,012 net
of cash acquired, the industrial servovalve product line of Ultra
Hydraulics Limited located in the United Kingdom. On May 24,
1996, the Company acquired the propellant valve product line of
Parker Hannifin Corporation for $890.
On October 26, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of and
assumed certain liabilities related to the industrial hydraulic
servocontrols business (the U.S. Industrial Hydraulics Business)
of International Motion Control Inc., (IMC), an unrelated third
party. The U.S. Industrial Hydraulics Business, which operated
under the name Moog Controls Inc., was spun off by the Company in
February 1988. The purchase price was $48,600. Based on a
preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to
finalization, intangible assets resulting from this acquisition
should approximate $37,000. For the 12 month period ended
September 30, 1996, the unaudited results of operations of the
U.S. Industrial Hydraulics Business consisted of net sales
totalling approximately $29,600 and operating profit of
approximately $4,900, after deducting depreciation expense of
$900. The historical results of the U.S. Industrial Hydraulics
Business are not intended to be a projection of future results.
In a related transaction, the Company acquired a nearly completed
manufacturing facility which IMC originally intended for use by
the U.S. Industrial Hydraulics Business. The Company has since
reached an agreement in principle to sell the building to a third
party. The acquisition was principally financed with proceeds
from the Company's U.S. Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility
(the Bank Credit Facility).
All of the Company's acquisitions are accounted for under
the purchase method, and accordingly, the operating results for
the acquired companies are included in the Consolidated
Statements of Income from the date of acquisition.
On May 13, 1996, a joint venture called Moog Hydrolux LLC,
in which the Company has a 50% interest, was formed. The Company
accounts for this investment on the equity method.
Note 3 - Receivables

The long-term contract amounts are primarily associated with
prime U.S. Government contractors and major commercial aircraft
manufacturers. These amounts include retainage in accordance with
the terms of the contracts. Unbilled costs and profits subject to
negotiation represent claims on terminated contracts.
Substantially all unbilled amounts are expected to be collected
within one year. In situations where billings exceed revenues
recognized, the excess is included in customer advances.
Note 4 - Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:
_________________________________________________________________
September 30 1996 1995
_________________________________________________________________
Raw materials and purchased parts $ 30,609 $ 23,028

_______________________________________________________________
Inventories $ 99,318 $ 86,176
_______________________________________________________________
In 1994, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge
of $4,681 of which $2,574 related to the write-off of obsolete
Domestic Controls segment inventory. This write-off reflected a
decline in repair activities and spare part requirements on
various government programs. The restructuring charge also
included $2,107 related to workforce reductions and other
restructuring actions taken in response to U.S. defense spending
reductions and weak capital goods markets in Europe.

Note 6 - Indebtedness
The Company maintains short-term lines of credit with
various banks throughout the world. The short-term credit lines
are principally demand lines and subject to revision by the
banks. These shortterm lines of credit, along with $94,000
available on the Bank Credit Facility, provided credit
availability of $112,744 at September 30, 1996. In connection
with the acquisition of the U.S. Industrial Hydraulics Business
on October 26, 1996, the Company utilized approximately $49,000
that was available under the Bank Credit Facility. Commitment
fees are charged on some of these arrangements based on a
percentage of the unused amounts available. At September 30,
1996, the International Controls segment had $3,420 of notes
payable to banks at an average rate of 11.7% outstanding under
these lines of credit. During 1996, an average of $5,739 in notes
payable were outstanding at an average interest rate of 7.3%.
Notes payable are carried at amounts which approximate fair
value.
Long-term debt consists of the following:

On May 14, 1996, the Company completed a recapitalization
(the "Recapitalization"), the principal elements of which were
the following:
(1) The redemption (the "Debenture Redemption") on April 26,
1996 of the Company's 9 7/8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
due 2006 using funds available under the Bank Credit Facility. Of
the total principal balance outstanding of $18,000 on April 26,
1996, principal of $17,858 was redeemed with $142 of principal
converted into 6,204 Class A Common shares.
(2) The completion on May 14, 1996 of a $120,000 offering
(the "Offering") of 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the
"Notes"), the proceeds of which were $116,438 net of discounts
and expenses of the Offering. The Notes have a single maturity
with the aggregate principal amount due on May 1, 2006. The Notes
are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
at any time on or after May 1, 2001 initially at 105% of their
principal amount, plus accrued interest, declining ratably to
100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on or
after May 1, 2003.
(3) The Company used such net proceeds to repurchase 714,600
shares of its Class A Common Stock for $12,863; prepay in its
entirety the principal balance of $16,400 on the Company's
10 1/4% Senior Secured Note due 2001; repay $86,481 of its
revolving borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility, which
included $17,858 borrowed for the Debenture Redemption; and pay
prepayment and amendment fees. These fees and the write-off of
related debt issuance costs resulted in an extraordinary pre-tax
charge of $810.
The Notes are unsecured, general obligations of the Company
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
senior indebtedness. The Note indenture includes certain
covenants limiting, subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence
of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, redemption of
capital stock, asset sales and certain mergers and
consolidations.
The Bank Credit Facility consists of a $135,000 revolving
credit facility and a $30,000 term loan. The revolving credit
facility expires in October 2000. The term loan is for six years
through July 2001, with quarterly principal payments of $1,500
commencing October 1, 1996.
Interest on the Bank Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 1.75%. In
order to provide for interest rate protection, the Company has
entered into interest rate swap agreements for $60,000,
effectively converting this amount to fixed rate debt averaging
8.2%. The swaps expire at various times in 1997 and 1998.
The Bank Credit Facility contains various covenants which,
among others, specify minimum interest coverage, limits senior
debt to a defined capital base, limits capital expenditures and
prohibits payment of cash dividends on common stock. The Bank
Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's
U.S. assets and the common shares of all Domestic and
International subsidiaries.
International and other U.S. term loan agreements of $13,254
at September 30, 1996 consist principally of financing provided
by various banks to individual International subsidiaries. These
term loans are being repaid through 2003, and carry interest
rates ranging from 1.4% to 13.5%.
Maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are
$10,491 in 1997, $12,917 in 1998, $8,807 in 1999, $6,936 in 2000,
$48,004 in 2001, and $120,687 thereafter.
The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on
quoted market prices and discounted cash flow analysis using
current rates offered to the Company for debt with the same
remaining maturities. At September 30, 1996, the estimated fair
value of long-term debt was $210,242.
At September 30, 1996, the Company has pledged assets with a
net book value of $278,487 as security for long-term debt.
Note 7 - Income Taxes
The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes with
the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax
rate of 34% to earnings before income taxes, extraordinary item
and cumulative effect of change in accounting for income taxes is
as follows:
_________________________________________________________________

At September 30, 1996, certain International subsidiaries
had net operating loss carryforwards totalling $1,870. These loss
carryforwards do not expire and can be used to reduce current
taxes otherwise due on future earnings of those subsidiaries.
No provision has been made for U.S. federal or foreign taxes
on that portion of certain International subsidiaries'
undistributed earnings ($23,532 at September 30, 1996) considered
to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine
the amount of tax that would be payable if these amounts were
repatriated to the Company.
The components of income taxes excluding the extraordinary
item and cumulative effect of change in accounting for income
taxes are as follows:
_________________________________________________________________

The tax effects of temporary differences that generated
deferred tax assets and liabilities are detailed in the following
table. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers projected future taxable income and tax planning
strategies in making its assessment of the recoverability of
deferred tax assets. The impact of the change in beginning of the
year valuation allowance in fiscal 1996 and 1995 relates
primarily to the improved financial results of the Company's
German subsidiary which had accumulated net operating loss
carryforwards prior to 1995.

Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks,
bonds, mutual funds and $13,800 in Company stock. The Company's
funding policy is to contribute at least the amount required by
law in the various jurisdictions in which the plans are
domiciled. The principal actuarial assumptions weighted for all
defined benefit plans are:
_________________________________________________________________
1996 1995
_________________________________________________________________
Discount rate 7.6% 7.4%
Return on assets 8.6% 8.2%
Rate of compensation increase 3.8% 3.6%
_________________________________________________________________
In addition, the Company maintains various defined
contribution plans. These defined contribution plans, along with
the defined benefit plans, cover substantially all employees.
Pension expense for all plans for 1996, 1995 and 1994 is as
follows:
_________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________
Employee and management profit share plans provide for the
computation of profit share based on net earnings as a percent of
net sales multiplied by base wages, as defined. The profit share
plan was suspended for 1995. Profit share expense was $2,602 in
1996, $0 in 1995 and $459 in 1994.
The Company has a Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (SSOP)
which includes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. As one of the
investment alternatives, participants in the SSOP can acquire
Company stock at market value, with the Company providing a 25%
share match. The SSOP purchase of the matching Class B shares was
funded by a Company loan. The loan is repaid with Company
contributions. Interest on the loan is computed at the Bank
Credit Facility borrowing rate. Shares are allocated and
compensation expense is recognized as the employer share match is
earned. Compensation expense was $306 in 1996, $446 in 1995 and
$180 in 1994. At September 30, 1996, the SSOP owned (allocated
and unallocated) 113,821 Class A shares and 499,542 Class B
shares.
The Company provides postretirement health care benefits to
certain retirees. Expenses under this plan were $1,158, $1,011
and $1,075 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. A reconciliation
of the funded status of the plan with the accrued liability at
September 30, 1996 and 1995 is shown below. There were no plan
assets at September 30, 1996 or 1995.

The effect of a one percentage point increase in the health
care cost trend rate, currently assumed at 2.5%, would not have a
significant impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of September 30, 1996.
Note 9 - Shareholders' Equity
Class A and Class B Common Stock share equally in the
earnings of the Company, and are identical in most respects
except (i) Class A has limited voting rights, each share of
Class A being entitled to one-tenth of a vote on most matters and
each share of Class B being entitled to one vote, (ii) Class A
shareholders are entitled to elect at least 25% of the Board of
Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) with Class B
shareholders entitled to elect the balance of the directors,
(iii) cash dividends may be paid on Class A without paying a cash
dividend on Class B and no cash dividend may be paid on Class B
unless at least an equal cash dividend is paid on Class A, and
(iv) Class B shares are convertible at any time into Class A on a
one-for-one basis at the option of the shareholder. The number of
common shares issued reflects conversion of Class B to Class A of
30,039 shares in 1996 and 317 shares in 1994. Convertible
subordinated debentures were also converted into 6,204 Class A
shares in 1996 and 87 Class A shares in 1995.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock. Series B Preferred Stock is 9% Cumulative,
Convertible, Exchangeable Preferred Stock with a $1.00 par value.
Series B Preferred Stock consists of 100,000 issued shares and
94,883 outstanding shares, and are convertible into Class A
Common shares (.08585 shares of Class A Common Stock per share of
Series B Preferred Stock). The Series B Preferred Stock is owned
by nine principal officers of the Company. The Board of Directors
may authorize, without further shareholder action, the issuance
of additional preferred stock which ranks senior to both classes
of Common Stock of the Company with respect to the payment of
dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. The
preferred stock, when issued, would have such designations
relative to voting and conversion rights, preferences, privileges
and limitations as determined by the Board of Directors.
Of the Class B Common Stock, 129,912 shares are reserved for
issuance under the 1983 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. Class A
shares reserved for issuance at September 30, 1996 are as
follows:
_________________________________________________________________
Shares
_________________________________________________________________
Conversion of Class B to Class A shares 2,634,790

Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock to
Class A shares 8,585
_________________________________________________________________
2,965,975
_________________________________________________________________
The 1983 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan granted options on
Class B shares to directors, officers, and key employees. Stock
appreciation rights were granted in tandem with the options and
are exercisable only to the extent the options are exercised. The
1983 Incentive Stock Option Plan granted options on Class A
shares to officers and key employees. The Plans terminated on
December 31, 1992 and outstanding options expire no later than
ten years after the date of grant.
Options were granted at prices not less than market value on
the date of the grant. Shares under option are as follows:

Sales between geographic areas are generally transacted and
accounted for at factory cost plus applicable general and
administrative expenses and profit. Export sales from the United
States are primarily to areas other than Europe. Export sales
from Europe and all other geographic areas are principally to
countries within their geographic area.
Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company, over the past five years, has been named as a
potentially responsible party (PRP) with respect to three
Superfund sites. The clean up actions with regard to the three
Superfund sites has been completed, and the Company's share of
the related financial accommodations was not significant. No
further actions have been initiated by Federal or State
regulators. In addition, the Company was notified in August 1993
by a PRP group at a site related to one of the Superfund sites
referenced above that it will seek contribution from the Company
to the extent the PRP group is responsible for remediation costs.
At September 30, 1996, the Company believes that adequate
reserves have been established for environmental issues, and does
not expect these environmental matters will have a material
effect on the financial position of the Company in excess of
amounts previously reserved.
Legal proceedings pending by or against the Company and its
subsidiaries are not expected to have a material effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
In the ordinary course of business, subsidiaries of the
Company have discounted promissory notes received in settlement
of trade receivables at banks. The aggregate proceeds from
discounted notes were $3,983 in 1996, $8,091 in 1995, and $14,809
in 1994. Under the recourse provisions of such transactions, the
subsidiaries are contingently liable for $889 at September 30,
1996.
The Company has $3,532 in open letters of credit at
September 30, 1996, which principally relate to cash advances
received on a contract.
The Company leases certain facilities under operating lease
arrangements. These arrangements may include fair market renewal
or purchase options. Rent expense under operating leases
amounted to $7,191 in 1996, $6,957 in 1995 and $7,049 in 1994.
Future minimum rental payments required under noncancelable
operating leases are $5,668 in 1997, $4,888 in 1998, $3,809 in
1999, $2,851 in 2000, $1,997 in 2001 and $10,157 thereafter.
The Company subleases various facilities to third parties.
Gross rental income from such activities was $1,291 in 1996,
$1,535 in 1995 and $1,247 in 1994. Future minimum rental income
under noncancelable operating leases is $323 in 1997.
Note 13 - Financial Instruments
The Company uses a variety of financial instruments,
including foreign exchange instruments, letters of credit (see
note 12) and interest rate swaps (see note 6) to reduce financial
risk. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments
for trading purposes. The Company is exposed to credit loss in
the event of nonperformance by the counter-parties to the
instruments. The Company, however, does not expect
nonperformance by the counter-parties.
Foreign exchange instruments are used to hedge the Company's
equity in, and long-term advances to, various International
subsidiaries. At September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company had
$4,484 and $6,107, respectively, of such instruments outstanding
at fair value. Gains and losses on these hedges of equity and
long-term advances are included in shareholders' equity. Foreign
currency forward contracts are periodically utilized to hedge
known foreign currency cash flows. Gains and losses on such
contracts are netted against the gain or loss on the underlying
amounts receivable or payable. Foreign currency forward
contracts outstanding at fair value on September 30, 1996 were
$1,717.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Directors of Moog Inc.:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Moog
Inc. and subsidiaries listed in Item 14(a)(1) of the annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 1996. In connection with
our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have
audited the financial statement schedule listed in Item 14(a)(2)
of the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 1996.
These consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. We did not audit the financial statements or
schedule of certain wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, which
statements reflect total assets constituting 15% as of September
30, 1996 and 1995 and total net sales constituting 20%, 21% and
18% of the related consolidated totals for the years ended
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Those
statements and schedule were audited by other auditors whose
reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for such consolidated
subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other
auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the
other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Moog Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996
and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
September 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth therein.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING AND TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

among the banks identified in Exhibit A attached to and made a
part of this Agreement (collectively the "Banks" and individually
a "Bank"), Marine Midland Bank, a New York banking corporation
having its chief executive office at One Marine Midland Center,
Buffalo, New York 14203, ("Marine"), as agent for the Banks, and
Moog Inc., a New York business corporation having its chief
executive office at Jamison Road and Seneca Street, East Aurora,

1. DEFINITIONS. Each word or expression used, but

the Loan Agreement.
2. AMENDMENTS.
a. Section 6(d) of the Loan Agreement shall be
amended to read in its entirety as follows:
d. Senior Debt to Net Capital Base Ratio.
Maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter of the

that it does not exceed the following applicable
percentage: (i) for any such fiscal quarter ending on

shareholders' equity, but excluding therefrom any
intangible assets (including, but not limited to,
goodwill).
c. Section 12(uu) of the Loan Agreement shall be

eee-2. Senior Debt to Net Capital Base Ratio.
"Senior Debt to Net Capital Base Ratio" means the

of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower to the
Net Capital Base as of the end of such fiscal quarter.
3. PREREQUISITES TO LOANS. The obligation of any
Bank to make any Loan after the effective date of this Agreement
shall be conditioned upon the receipt by each Bank at or before
the time such Loan is to be made of the following, in form and

to the Loan Agreement and stating that (i) there did not occur or
exist at any time during the period beginning on the date of the
Loan Agreement and ending at the time such Loan is to be made and
there does not exist at the time such Loan is to be made any
Event of Default or Default and (ii) each representation and

To our Shareholders, Employees and Friends,
The Numbers Keep Getting Better
Fiscal '96 sales were up, earnings were up and our
stock price was up.
More precisely, sales were up 9%, net earnings were up
38%, and our stock closed on 30 September '96, up over 60% from a
year earlier. We made a lot of progress in '96. We believe that
our sharp focus on high performance motion controls for aircraft,
satellites and industrial automation will sustain this positive
momentum.
Commercial Airplane Revenues Are Up
Revenue growth in the aircraft business is all in
commercial airplanes. We've signed six-year contracts with Boeing
to supply flight controls for the 747, 757 and 767. We're under
contract for the 777 through 2006. Production rates are up on
all
of these airplanes. Our deliveries to Boeing were up 15% in '96
and will increase 50% in '97.
Military Revenues Are Stable
Production continues on the F-15, F/A-18C/D and the
B-2. In '96, we completed development of the leading edge and
wingfold actuators for the F/A-18E/F, and the flight control
actuators for the Navy's V-22 tiltrotor, the Army's RAH-66
helicopter and the Indian Light Combat Aircraft. Over the next
few years all of these aircraft will enter production.
The Satellite Business Soars
Our satellite business really took off in '96. All the
major satellite manufacturers are using our thrusters and
isolation valves and they're building more satellites. More
satellites mean more launches. We provide steering controls and
propellant controls for the launch vehicles. Adding to our range
of technology for the satellite business is the Parker Hannifin
propellant valve product line we acquired this year.
Two Strategic Acquisitions in Industrial Controls
Early in the year, we acquired the servovalve product
line of Ultra Hydraulics Ltd. in the UK. This product line had
its origins in a Moog license granted to Dowty in the late '50's.
The Ultra acquisition added about $4 million to '96 revenues.
Just after the end of the year, we acquired Moog Controls Inc., a
company with revenues of about $30 million. This company was
created in 1988 when we exchanged our U.S. industrial servovalve
division with Bill Moog for his stock. Bill subsequently sold
Moog Controls Inc. to an unrelated third party from whom we made
this acquisition.
Also in '96, we entered into a 50/50 joint venture with
a Luxembourg-based manufacturer of hydraulic controls named
Hydrolux. The joint venture company, Moog-Hydrolux, makes
integrated hydraulic manifolds for North American manufacturers
of injection molding machines, hydraulic presses and die casting
machines.
A Strengthened Balance Sheet
In mid-year, we took our story to the financial markets
and sold $120 million of ten year, 10% bonds. Our objective was
to extend maturities on the revolver financing we used to acquire
the actuation product line from AlliedSignal in 1994. We also
called some convertible debentures and bought back a big block of
our stock at $18 per share. At the time we sold the bonds, we
weren't planning to acquire Moog Controls because its owner
hadn't offered it for sale. However, having completed the bond
financing, we were able to move quickly in completing this very
strategic move.
'97 Looks Good
We're approaching fiscal '97 with the expectation that
we'll have a third year of increased sales and earnings. Sales
will be up in most of our product lines and the acquisition of
Moog Controls will add another 20% to our industrial revenues.
We expect that our '97 revenues will be close to $450
million and will be distributed as follows:
[Graph inserted which shows the distribution of '97 revenues as
follows:
Industrial Automation - 38.5%
Aircraft Controls - 48.0%
Space & Missiles - 13.5%]
Increased production of commercial aircraft and
commercial satellites, and the acquisitions we've made in
industrial automation, will shift our balance of revenues more
toward the commercial/industrial sector.
[Graph inserted which shows the distribution of '97 revenues as
follows:
Government/Military - 37%
Commercial/Industrial - 63%]
We began our expansion into international markets over
30 years ago. Today, we have companies in 17 countries and about
a third of our revenues come from outside the United States:
[Graph inserted which shows the distribution of '97 revenues as
follows:
U.S. - 70%
International - 30%]
Our Strategy for the Future
We're accustomed to market leadership in terms of
market share and product performance. We'll work to enhance this
position where we have it and develop it where we don't. We'll
maintain a tight focus on our core technologies and extend
applications into closely related product areas. We'll continue
to emphasize an active collaboration with our customers, to
support them with our global reach and to provide world-class
aftermarket service and support.
This strategic framework has guided our recent
acquisitions. These acquisitions, combined with healthier market
conditions and the team effort of all the Moog people around the
globe, have resulted in progress on all fronts. We're happy with
our '96 results. We believe that '96 was the second year in what
will become a consistent pattern of growth in sales, earnings and
the value of our stock.
The fun has just begun.

Moog at a Glance
Everyone appreciates the tremendous pace of advancement
in computers and computer software. Just as the PC has
revolutionized information technology, computers have also
revolutionized controls in aircraft, satellites and industrial
machinery. This phenomenon places Moog in an enviable position.
Our principal product lines are servoactuators that take the
information generated by computers and then make something
happen. The inputs to our products are the tiny electrical
signals emanating from the control computers. Advancements in
computer technology enhance the capabilities of our products and
their relevance in today's industrial society. The illustration
at right describes the operating parts of a servoactuator system.
There are hundreds of design variations, but they share the
fundamental characteristics shown.
Military Aircraft: Flight Controls and Engine Controls
Moog has supplied high performance servoactuation to
move flight control surfaces on military aircraft since the
1950's. Our selection as the designer of flight control
actuation for the B-2 confirmed our Company's position as the
technology leader for military aircraft. Over the next few years
we'll be starting production on a number of new programs; the
F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the V-22 Osprey, the RAH-66 Comanche, the
Japanese F-2 and the Indian Light Combat Aircraft. During '96,
we were selected as the principal supplier of flight control
actuation for both the Boeing and Lockheed Joint Strike Fighter
(JSF) demonstrators.
We believe that we supply about 40% of the flight
control actuation in the military aircraft markets open to
American companies.
Commercial Aircraft
We supply flight control and autopilot actuators for
the 747, 757, 767, and 777. We have more of these applications
than any other actuator supplier on Boeing's fleet and our share
is about thirty percent of the dollar content of Boeing's flight
control actuation. We also make all the servovalves for the
Boeing aircraft and for all the Airbus aircraft, as well. In
addition, we supply flight control actuators for the ailerons on
the A330/A340.
Space and Missiles
The space and missiles business has become the
satellite, launch vehicle and anti-missile business. The big
story is the growth in the number of satellites driven by the
demand for cellular phones, pagers and direct-to-home TV. We
have a very high market share in satellite propulsion controls
and steering controls for launch vehicles.
Anti-missile defense initiatives in the Congress have
triggered the production start of Standard Missile 2 Block 4 and
the potential of a Theater High Altitude Air Defense System
(THAADS).
Industrial Hydraulics
Since 1959, when Moog introduced the first industrial
servovalve, we have led the way in product technology. By any
measure, we are the world's market leader in industrial
servovalves. The acquisitions of the Ultra and Moog Controls
servo lines enhance our worldwide market position. The Moog
Controls acquisition also brings back to Moog two actuation
product lines with good growth potential: long stroke actuators
for motion platforms and turbine control actuators for industrial
gas turbines.
Industrial Electronics and Electric Drives
The growth areas in the drives business have been the
specialties. We recently booked a $28 million order from Wegmann
for electric drives used on the automatic ammunition loader for a
German howitzer. Also during '96, we established a production
line for six-degree-of-freedom, six-passenger simulators used in
the entertainment and training markets. Both of these product
lines have a big future.

Dear Sirs
Independent Auditors' Report
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Moog Controls
Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moog inc.) and subsidiaries
as at September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statement of earnings and retained earnings and cashflows for
each of the three years ended 30 September 1996. These consoli-
dated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion of these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards in the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material mis-
statement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evi-
dence supporting the amounts and disclosures of the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Moog Controls Limited and subsidiaries as of
September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and cash flows for each of the three years ended September 1996,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supple-
mental information in Schedules marked by us as "For identifica-
tion purposes only" are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and may not be a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic consolidated
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects as far as the information in them relates to
the basic consolidated financial statements taken as whole.
